Mapping the Heatwave

While America braces itself for record low temperatures Australians are basking in a heatwave. ABC has created a Live Heatwave Tracker to map temperatures that have hit as high as 50 degrees centigrade.

The tracker is an animated map of temperatures recorded throughout Australia. You can use the slider beneath the map to view temperatures at specific times and dates and zoom in on the map to view temperatures recorded at specific locations across the country.
